Outsiders to the city of Campbelltown will find Narellan Gardens to
be an elusive suburb with only hints from small business names and real
estate properties on the market to indicate its location. The reason
Narellan Gardens is so elusive is due to its unrecognized classification
through the government and regional geographical sites. Narellan
Gardens shares its postal code with two more widely recognized suburbs,
Narellan and Narellan Vale. In fact, there is no mention of Narellan
Gardens with the census bureau. They only recognize the suburbs of
Narellan and Narellan Vale. Despite its anonymity, the knowledge of
Narellan Gardens resides with the local residents of Campbelltown.
Residents relaying directions will tell you that Narellan Gardens is a
small community within Narellan Vale.
Whether or not Narellan
Gardens is recognized officially as a suburb, the fact remains that it
is home to many affluent individuals raising a family. In 2006, the
median price for a home in the Narellan Gardens area was $372,500. The
majority of homes in the neighborhood are detached single family homes.
This is a drastic change from what once was, considering for nearly 200
years Narellan Gardens and the surrounding areas were used as farmland
and part of what is now Camden.
Prior to Narellan Gardens and the
surrounding area being used for farming, the land was originally home to
such people as the Tharawal people, the Darug people, and the
Gandangara people. From the late 1700s to the early 1800s, British
settlers began slowly moving in and clearing the land for farm use. This
resulted in a struggle over food and land resources and a breakdown in
relations between the indigenous people and British settlers. The
conflict ended with a huge massacre of the native people by the British
settlers in 1816.
Through the support of Lord Camden in England,
John Macarthur was granted 5,000 acres of land in what was once called
Cowpastures because of its rich soil and abundance of grazing. Although
Macarthur began farming in other parts of Australia prior to this grant,
it was here that Macarthur established sheep farming using some of the
King of Englands private sheep stock. Macarthur renamed the land,
Camden, after his benefactor, Lord Camden. Though much of the land,
including Narellan Gardens changed hands, for roughly 200 years the area
was farmland until Sydneys population expanded into the area. It was
then that the land was broken up into smaller housing developments
through which Narellan Gardens and the other sister Narellan suburbs
were created.
During World War II, much of the Campbelltown was
used to prepare for the War. Both the Australian army and airforce
occupied Camden and Campbelltown. For example, Narellan Gardens
neighboring Studley Park House, which was originally a nineteenth
century country home residence, was used to help establish the Womens
Royal Australian Army. The Australian airforce occupied much of
neighboring Camden, including the historical Orielton. From farmland to
upscale family living, Narellan Gardens might be new to its name but
there is a rich history associated with this newly developed suburb of
Campbelltown.
